"all of itano's characters have at least one mental disorder. Even if it's not literally a mental disorder; itano takes it to extremes which practically functions as a mental disorder."

Hmm, weird, I used the TL wiki patch too >_>

You might have to wait a day cause I've got nothing

Plus, I'm like stupid with this stuff anyways, so have hope ;D

Spoiler

Marimo's death is the most tragic death in the VN for sure and that's saying a lot since all the deaths were so tragic. I feel even if you somehow hated Marimo (which is impossible). you'd still lose your head when it happens cause the build up to it is handled so well that your never going to expect it. Yeah, I was looking around because I thought I deleted all my VNs that I've completed but I was so happy when I found that I hadn't deleted Alternative yet.

But hey, we can look at the positive side because at least in the world Takeru does end up in, everyone is alive.

Wait you guys are playing Majikoji before it's fully translated? How can you subject yourselves to that? The moment I start something I need to be able to finish it (well really only VNs anime and manga I can wait for) I wouldn't be able to stand just playing a couple of the routes and then leaving it for months on end

“I promised, remember? I said I would save you even if it meant fighting the entire world.” “Yes…you did.”

Othinus narrowed her eye as the boy held her in his arms. She looked happy. She looked truly happy.

“But you don’t have to worry. I was already saved from the moment you said that to me.”

I dunno even if it's like KS I'd probably want to wait on the full translation, I mean even though I did hate Emi's route I wouldn't know that until I played it, so I'd just be sitting there all antsy trying to play it

“I promised, remember? I said I would save you even if it meant fighting the entire world.” “Yes…you did.”

i am trying to play Sharin no kuni but every time i put in the patches where it tells me to put them it comes up with some blue system screen.... then when i take the patches out the game works fine.... WHY wont it work.....well looks like it's back to finish koihime then.....must unlock 100%.....only at about 90%

It's always either system locale not being in the right language (sometimes it needs english, sometimes japanese), or the game not being installed it in the default folder. If neither of those work, then MAYBE it's the wrong patch, but even if it was an old one, it should still run, so that only leaves the original game dvd not being the right one for some reason. I got mine from here, but if worse comes to worse, there's a good chance fuwanovel.com has an already patched version somewhere in there.

There is more like a "alternate" route than a "true" route after finishing every single route in S.

Spoiler

You go back to when Yamato was a kid and when Koyuki asks if she can join Kazama family. The alternate timeline starts if you accept her. Although, Yuki doesn't appear that much for the majority of the story portion of the route.

Aside from the maker of Katawa Shoujo, TYPE-MOON, 5pb, MinatoSoft and Alicesoft, visual novels seems to be lack luster in recent years. It has become a pleatoria of cliched events all clinged together in one game or book. The genre needs an innovation or if God pleases an REVOLUTION. Alicesoft has introduced an Rping genre that only replayable but with a decent level of story telling while TYPE-MOON has made it into a non moe genre with it's utmost display of character designs and insanely great way of immersivility.

That rant aside. What happens when a Visual Novels gets an inspiration on games such as Persona 3 and 4. We get something like this

I... I take it you're a Key fan. Sorry, I played Clannad and LB! mostly for reference's sake, so it'll be a long time before I try any of the other Key games.

...a very long time.

...but I like SHAFT...

Also, about Ever17... actually nevermind.

I think Sana has a more vivid memory of the game right now. PMing her in the middle of the night might've been more productive.

I will say that even though Ever17 was higher in the ending list, it was only because of the ***** ********* that is the final route. If it's just about actual endings, Maou would rank higher by far (you can probably guess why), and if it's about sheer plot twist value, there is actually another game that I would rank as *untouchable*.

Speaking of rankings, here's the very last piece from the remnants of the previous thread. I have now officially ran out of old material to re-post. Guess I better get on with Shikkoku no Sharnoth then...!

...sigh...

I'm Key Fans.

Sanctuary: Not Kara, you're only delaying the inevitable. Stop resisting and I'll make your demise easy and painless. Well, painless is a relative term. I can at least promise that I won't take any pleasure in your screams of agony. I'm not rude.

Supergirl: Trying to kill me over a miscalculation isn't rude?

Sanctuary: As these neural-scions will attest, I am the pinnacle of Kryptonian technology. I do not make miscalculations.

Supergirl: You're making one right now.

Sanctuary: Oh? And what is that?

Supergirl: *Punching neural-scion* That I'll ever go down without a fight.

Sanctuary: You mean the 99.87% probability that you'd try punching your way to a resolution? Yes, that's why I filled the neural-scions with a bonding agent. No offense, but you're really not much of a thinker.

I'm not proud of it, but I have never paid for any kind of software in my entire life. When it comes to fiction, I only spend money on movies, because I can tell there are some titles that were meant to be watched on theaters, and I want to get the full experience. Then again, I've made note of the novels I particularly liked so that I can buy them once they get licensed and translated into a language I can actually read.

So like....I just finished something, so I might do some sort of Progress Report of the 5 VNs I'm playing (Still 5 because I sort of added one.)

I've Finally finished Kara No Shoujo.

All the routes.

So I think I can legit Rage on it now

Well, I mean like its very good. The characters, the mystery, the connections and the crazy people its all very interesting. The gore is incredible and I love the music. I Love the Music.

But Like....

I mean, So like You **** ** **** with one of the ********** and then they *** ***** ****. Then you repeat it over and over again until I'm just all *********.

Like I know that people said the VN is not for everyone, but I thought it was like to do with **** and not ******** ***** ****** ********* I like.

Its a good story, and I really liked it, but I have ****** quite ********* after playing it.

Its kind of funny because I said that VNs are more special then other mediums because you connect to the characters but *** **** **** ** **** ****

Though I guess that's the point -__-

tl;dr It's evil, but go read it.

I'm about 2 hours of gameplay in You's Route (random) and things are stepping up!

Well, actually I was sort of enjoying Ever for a while already but I've been trying to complete Kara no Shoujo so I couldn't really progress

The Config Setting still annoy me though -__-

And the fact that I just can't scroll to continue cause scrolling makes it to the backlog.

This constant clicking is making my fingers tired ;W;

And it's so loud.... Its hard to play at night .-. (I know I can change my computer volume stuff but then I have to like exit fullscreen...It's annoying)

Hanabira

Well, I finished the second game, and I think I'm going to put the whole series on hold.

I sorta feel that I'd prefer going on Fakku and finding lesbian smut

the most annoying thing is the the whole game still feels slow even though its like really short.

It doesn't really help that I haven't really enjoyed the characters

So sorry Shinki if you come across

Kamidori

This game is grinding me too hard that I've completely lost most of my motivation .______.

Monster Quest

So the plot is actually stepping up! Which is pretty cool to be honest. I really like the concept right now and sometimes the too many sex scenes are feeling tedious. Alice is such a cool character except when we get those wierd CGs she was where she eats you with her tail .-.

At least now I don't really find this game strangely addicting anymore, in fact, I think I get why its popular

The story is actually pretty decent.

The only problem is that I'm back at home finding time to play this game has become a bit awkward >_>

And yes, I got Desmume so I started 999.

I like the gameplay. The story? Not so much. It seems kinda overused -__-

I am enjoying it quite a lot though, and June's blushes and stuff are so cute I'm melting ;W;

But yeah, I don't exactly like using Desmume to play so that doesn't help

I'm mostly waiting for Majikoi and Hollow Ataraxia myself

I'm waiting for Majikoi, but like....

Its Majikoi

So yeah, I hear great things about it but I can't help but feel that since its so character focused rather then plot

I generally just download them myself as well, I mean the moment I actually get some money I'll go out and buy the good ones (read; E17, since I won't have money anymore once I buy it XD) I do the same thing for anime and manga, read and watch a bunch, get the good ones when they come out in english unless the dubbing is horrendous (not a problem with manga generally)

“I promised, remember? I said I would save you even if it meant fighting the entire world.” “Yes…you did.”

Othinus narrowed her eye as the boy held her in his arms. She looked happy. She looked truly happy.

“But you don’t have to worry. I was already saved from the moment you said that to me.”

Took me longer than I thought because I kept falling asleep after about an hour or so of playtime. I guess this is what I get for not following my own instincts. But that's it. No consecutive games from the same group from now on. I mean it now.

- 50% drama, 20% comedy, 20% action, 10% science fiction.
- I take back everything bad I ever said about Remember11. I just... I didn't know. How could I know?

- Sharnoth of the Darkest... SOMETHING, made by Liar Soft, is about an adorable young girl on a quest to save her best friend from the shadows, with the help of a badass couple of creature hunters, in a setting built around 1905 London and Arthur Conan Doyle's famous detective novels.

- Credits go where credits are due. The game looks... wow. The art is seriously good. And the characters... my god. No matter how dull she is or what she does wrong, you just can't get mad at the protagonist because... I mean look at her! Sweet merciful bahamut-- I haven't seen character designs this unfair since Mahoyo's demo!

- The characters are great. Except maybe for Mr. eyepatch, the game manages to make you care for most of the main cast-- though much like with Inganock, the side characters just keep coming and going.

- ...and then there's the plot.

- THIS... is a shoujo manga. Not even your average romance shoujo manga. I actually like those, even if only at the beginning. No, this is the kind that draws most of its value from the innocence and purity of the protagonist and her friends. Terrible, terrible things will happen to her, but everything will be fine as long as she does her best, runs like a little girl, and waits for the plethora of bishies in the game to rescue her, particularly that tall, unsociable, dark one in the shadows.

- Not once. Not a single time does the protagonist fend for herself. The entire game revolves around looking for ways to run from danger, complete with what is hands down the stupidest VN minigame I have ever played in my life.

- I'll put it another way. If you think doing morning jogs on a victorian dress constitutes as training for the fight scenes, you need to rethink your job.

- ...

- ...haah...

- Ok, I'm done.

- Wait. That's right. There are h scenes in this game, and to be fair, they are much less cringe-worthy than the ones from Inganock, even if only half as relevant.

Don't play this game... trust me... there is no payoff. Hell, I'm a fan of Conan Doyle's novels, and I still couldn't get any kind of enjoyment from it. It's actually kind of unnerving to think that its characters are related to this, no matter how accurately portrayed.

Oh, I also play Narcissu on the side to keep my sanity. It's a really short and uncomfortable story about two people with a terminal illness and their small adventure to enjoy what little time they have left to live. It was ok. Didn't do a whole lot for me, though. I dunno, I may have grown immune to conventional tear jerkers. I guess you could take a look if you have a couple hours to spare.

Next up is... yes. YES. World End Economica! From Spice and Wolf's author! Yeaah, this is gonna be--

...wait, it's still in Japanese? GOT DAMMIT!

...

...Iunno, I guess I'll try Daibanchou, then. Sounds exactly like the kind of thing I need right now, anyways.
